    I try to tell myself "Write in it anyway", and sometimes that works, yet I have a few on my shelf sitting there not doing much more than looking nice.

    I'd never toss them away, though!

    Comic by Poorly Drawn Lines with 7 panels:  Panel 1: Bear is holding a notebook and saying "This notebook is too nice to write in."  Panel 2: Close-up of the notebook in Bear's hand showing it has a ribbon bookmark and ivory paper, a speech bubble says "I'm sorry"  Panel 3: Same as panel 2 with the speech bubble saying "My thoughts aren't important enough for you"  Panel 4: Bear is tossing the notebook off a cliff  Panel 5: Bird catches the notebook mid-air and says "Free shit!"  Panel 6: "But Later..."  Panel 7: Bird is stressed with a bead of sweat on their forehead, holding the notebook in one hand and a pen in the other, saying "Damn, this is kind of a nice notebook"

    It is a little pinker than I’d hoped, but there are some nice dark spots of red and purple and some good marbling/swirls.
